1. Permitted uses of our music

Spoken-word recordings
You can use the music as a backing track to any kind of spoken-word recording. For example, guided meditations, hypnosis, positive affirmations or instructional recordings. You may sell an unlimited number of copies of such recordings, as digital downloads and as CDs, in as many online or offline stores as you like.

Video and film
You can use our music in the background of videos, films or multimedia projects. For example, TV programs, DVD productions, YouTube or other online videos, corporate presentations, audio-visual tutorials.

YouTube videos
You can use our music to create and monetize as many YouTube videos as you like. Please ensure that you provide a proper credit as described in section 3 (below).

Public broadcast
You can play our music at a commercial venue or retail outlet with a limit of 1 location per license. For example, day spas, hotels, restaurants, conferences, on-hold music. You can also play our music during consultations with clients or patients. For example, hypnotherapy, meditation classes, yoga classes, physical therapy and medical procedures.

Personalized recordings
You can use our music repeatedly as a backing track in spoken word recordings that you create on a case by case basis for your clients or patients. Hypnotherapists commonly use our music in this way. Please note that recordings such as these cannot be duplicated, distributed or sold by your clients. Only you, the licensee, have the right to create and sell recordings that incorporate the music.

Software applications
You can use our music in the background of a software app for any device, however you cannot use our music if your app can be used to play the music by itself. In other words, you must either (a) combine the music with a voiceover or (b) your app must be of a type that requires continuous hands-on user interaction. For example, you may use our music in the background of an interactive gaming app, but you cannot use our music if your app would allow people to select and play music tracks.

2. Prohibited uses of our music

Distributing the music by itself
You cannot re-sell our music or distribute our music as a 'music only' product. This means that you cannot sell CDs or digital downloads of our music, nor can you make our music available in any way that allows people to download or extract the music as a standalone file.

Online music streaming
You cannot publish our music on any website that would allow people to play the music by itself.

Music player apps
You cannot use our music in any app that allows users to select and play music tracks without the addition of a voiceover.

Subliminal recordings
You cannot use our music to create subliminal recordings in which your voice is inaudible. Your voice may be quiet, but it must be audible (otherwise you are effectively creating a 'music only' product).

Creating derivative works
You cannot alter our music and then claim that the music is yours. For example, you cannot add brainwave entrainment frequencies or nature sounds to our music and then sell or distribute the music as your own product. Any audio-only product you create must include a voiceover.

Sub-Licensing the music
You cannot sub-license our music to any third party, nor can you sell our music as part of a production music library, as stock music, royalty free music or music sample library.

Other restrictions
You cannot use the title of our music as the title of any media production that incorporates the music. For example, you could not use the music “Whalesong Serenade” to create a YouTube video with a title that includes the words “Whalesong Serenade”.

3. Providing a Credit

All the music at Enlightened Audio was created by Christopher Lloyd Clarke and we ask that you credit him properly except when it is technically unfeasible to do so. Crediting Enlightened Audio.com with a link to our website is not a requirement, but a gesture of respect that is very much appreciated. The wording of your credit is entirely up to you. Here are some examples of some appropriately worded credits:

Film / TV Production Credit
(Title of Music) by Christopher Lloyd Clarke. Licensed by Enlightened Audio.

YouTube Video Credit
If you use the music to create and monetize a YouTube video, you must add a credit in the written video description that includes a link to Christopher Lloyd Clarke's personal website.

4. Distributing, selling and/or monetizing your products

If you create any products that incorporate our music (for example, CDs, digital downloads or videos), you may distribute an unlimited number of copies of those products at any any price you choose. You can sell your products in as many formats as you like, anywhere in the world. You may also generate advertising revenue on videos that you create with our music (YouTube videos for example).

In other words, once you have created a product with our music, you are free to earn an unlimited amount of money from it for the rest of time, without ever paying us another cent.

5. Editing the Music

You can edit our music if necessary, by looping it, cutting it, applying fade ins, fade outs and transitions from one track to another.

6. Modifying the Music

You may accentuate our music by adding nature sounds and/or foley and/or or brainwave entrainment frequencies (such as binaural beats or isochronic tones), however you may not add additional musical instrumentation.

7. Partially Naked Music

You may create spoken word recordings with our music and leave the music "naked" (without an accompanying voiceover) for up to two thirds of the total duration of each music track. In other words, only one third of your recording must include speech.

For example, you could create a 30 minute hypnosis recording in which you speak for the first 10 minutes and then allow the music to play by itself for the remaining 20 minutes. However, you must ensure that your finished recording is one continuous 30 minute track (not two separate tracks; one 10 minute meditation and then a separate 20 minute music-only track).

8. Transporting the Music

If you need to send music to another person, you are free to do so via any means at your disposal. For example, you may burn a CD or DVD, you may transfer the music to a portable storage device such as a USB flash drive, and you may transfer the music via online file transfer services. Please take care: you may only send the music to persons who are directly involved in the development of your products or projects. Please take all reasonable measures to prevent unauthorized copying and distribution of our music.
